Is Abortion an Equal Opportunity Killer?

When you think of Hispanics with picket signs, what is the first thing that comes to mind? If you're from Houston and read The Chronicle, your thoughts will quickly turn to immigration. Within recent years, the immigration debate has heated up and many protesters flooded the streets for the sake of immigrant rights.

But their is something else going on within the Hispanic community...something much more serious.

Hispanics are adamant about defending the human rights of those who made it out of Mexico and across the border to America, yet everyday the human rights of 700 Hispanic babies are squashed before they even get a chance to make it out of their mother's womb. Look at these statistics from Abort 73.

AGI (The Guttmacher Institute) tells us that Hispanic women account for 22% of all U.S. abortions, though they make up just 12.5% of the female population. Compare those numbers to non-Hispanic, white women, who make up 62.6% of America's female population(1), but account for only 34% of all U.S. abortions.

The fact is as Hispanics took to the streets of Houston to protest illegal immigration, the largest abortion facility in the western hemisphere was being built in their backyard...6 stories high and 75,000 square feet. Is it then no surprise that the abortion of Hispanic babies is double their percentage of the population? No doubt this is a strategic location motivated by money as Planned Parenthood continues to rake in the cash, $831 million per year on abortion services to be exact. Couple that with their racist roots in which Margaret Sanger desired to "exterminate the Negro population" and you have a recipe for success. By placing one of the largest abortion facilities right near Hispanic and African American neighborhoods, it is obvious that PP continues to prey on minority communities. And this doesn't just happen in Houston.

So the greater tragedy is not that Hispanics are denied the rights of an American citizen but that everyday hundreds of Hispanic babies are denied their rights as a human beings and aborted before they ever had a chance to live. For those who are actively fighting for racial equality, I think it's time we wake up to the somber fact that a large percentage of the Hispanic baby population are being killed in their mother's womb. At least those illegal immigrants had a chance to cross the border, take up a job, and raise a family...whether it be in Mexico or America. Unfortunately 700 Hispanic children per day will never have that chance.

Be Courageous, President Barack Obama

Please pray for our President.

From Middle Ground to Far Left

This speech was given by Obama before the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Inc. Now keep in mind this is the same Obama who, before millions of voters during last week's national televised debate, claimed we can reach "middle gound" on the issue of abotion.


"On this fundamental issue (choice), I will not yield..."

Does this sound like middle ground to you?

Obama's "Middle Ground" Abortion Rhetoric

I'm dizzy after watching the debate and hearing Obama spin and spew his political rhetoric on the issue of abortion...which he claims there is "middle ground" on the issue. The truth is Obama voted THREE times against a bill that would have provided protection for babies who survive an abortion. In regards to the "similar bill" that Obama claimed he would have supported, Annenberg Political Fact Check states, "Obama voted in committee against the 2003 state bill that was nearly identical to the federal bill he says he would have supported."

And while Obama claims he wants to reduce abortions through adoptions and other alternatives, why does he oppose continued federal funding for crisis pregnancy centers? Wouldn't these centers provide alternatives that could reduce abortions?

With Obama elected, there is no "middle ground" when it comes to abortion...Obama is as far-left as it gets. Want your taxes and government money to fund abortion? Vote Obama. Want your kid to be able to get an abortion WITHOUT your consent? Vote Obama. Want to deny pro-life doctors the right to not perform abortions? Vote Obama. Want ALL state and federal regulations of abortion demolished? Vote Obama

Here's the truth when it comes down to what Obama considers "middle ground".

In the News

Vatican to discuss role of Scripture for Catholics
In an effort to “take back the Bible for Catholics, Pope Benedict XVI will be reciting verses of the Bible on Italian national television. In the past, the church had discouraged nonclergy from familiarizing themselves with Scripture but with the recent rise and popularity of “fundamentalism”, as the Vatican calls it, or the literal interpretation of the Bible, Benedict is concerned that Catholics are actually reading their Bible and using this same interpretation method. Is he concerned that they will find that purgatory is a tradition made up by the Catholic Church and no where to be found in the Bible? Or maybe he’s worried that they will read Ephesians 2:8,9 and Romans 3:21-26 and realize that upon the free gift of God’s grace through Christ Jesus, free meaning not through our good works, we are justified in the sight of a Holy God.

Green Bible
Harper One is releasing a “green Bible” that promotes the growing trend of environmentalism and answers questions such as, “Is God green?” Did Jesus have anything to say about the environment? What role should faith play in caring for the earth? It also highlights more than 1,000 verses that supposedly speak on environmental issues. Here’s one for you; “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-who is forever praised. Amen.” (Romans 1:25) Maybe they forgot to recycle that verse…

Homosexual Christian?
In another effort to push the homosexual agenda into the Christian church, The Houston Chronicle highlighted a New York Times article featuring a church that accepts homosexuality as a appropriate lifestyle. Randy Keel, who was married to Jill Keel, confessed his homosexual desires to his now ex-wife. So not only did he give in to his sinful desires but his selfish gain consequently broke up the marriage and led to a divorce. And accoring to the Rev. Jack McKinney, who leads the congregation, this is reason to celebrate and even deems “these gay people” as “spiritual heroes” because “they held to their faith”. Well…at least the parts of their faith that suits themselves.

Pastors protest limits on pulpits and politics
Andy Cherry, a Houston pastor, was one of 33 pastors who participated in a national protest of limits on mixing politics and preaching. “Pulpit Freedom Sunday” was part of an effort by pastors to exercise their First Amendment Right.

“If we see a candidate and we believe that candidate is not in line with our biblical standards, we are told that we can’t preach about it, “Cherry said. “we say: ‘Yes, you can.’ We believe it’s unconstitutional to tell pastors that and to have threats coming from the IRS that you can lose your tax-exempt status.”

Hotels offering up “spiritual menu”
Nashville’s Hotel Preston, along with four other boutique hotels, will be offering a wide variety of religious texts to customers to satisfy requests other than the Bible. This seems to be the trend across America, especially in San Francisco, where hotel managers believe that they must offer up a spiritual menu that is keeping with the culture of their company. In other words, you can have a spiritual buffet of sorts right in your hotel room…you can pick and choose what parts of each text you like…sounds a lot like American Christianity.

Google to advertise pro-life groups
After a recent lawsuit by The Christian Institute, religious and pro-life organizations will be allowed to advertise on Google. You can watch the news video here:

Abortion at a Glance

Here are some statistics on abortion:

• Since 1973 there have been over 40 million abortions. Texas has the third highest legal induced abortions at 74,801 (CDC).
• Texas does currently enforce parental consent or notification laws for minors seeking an abortion (AGI).
• World Magazine rated Texas the #2 Pro-Life state in the U.S. (Source).
• There has been a continuing increase of legal induced abortions in the U.S. since 1973, peaking in 1990, and then generally declining (CDC).
• Unmarried women account for 82% of abortions with a ratio of 572 abortions for every 1,000 live births
• Women between the ages of 20-24 obtained 33% of all abortions (CDC).
• 50% of U.S. women obtaining abortions are younger than 25; women aged 20-24 obtain 33% of all U.S. abortions and teenagers obtain 17% (AGI).
• Adolescents under 15 years obtained less than 1% of all abortions, but have the highest abortion ratio, 744 abortions for every 1,000 live births (CDC).
• 47% of women who have abortions had at least one previous abortion (AGI).
• Black women are more than 4.8 times more likely than non-Hispanic white women to have an abortion, and Hispanic women are 2.7 times as likely (AGI).
• 43% of women obtaining abortions identify themselves as Protestant, and 27% identify themselves as Catholic (AGI).
• On average, women give at least 3 reasons for choosing abortion: 3/4 say that having a baby would interfere with work, school or other responsibilities; about 3/4 say they cannot afford a child; and 1/2 say they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner (AGI).

Overall, the abortion count is 4,000 per day, 25,000 per week, 109,000 per month, and 1.3 million per year. And let's not forget the countless women who are left with the regret and shame they experience after having an abortion.

Planned Parenthood's Racist and Hedonistic History

Founding President, Margaret Sanger
Margaret was a belligerent socialist that denounced marriage as “a degenerate institution” and sexual modesty as “obscene prudery”. Her publication, The Women Rebel, was published under the masthead, “No God and No Masters”.

While Margaret was exiled in England, as a result of her extreme views, she was indoctrinated with the Malthusian philosophy that believed in population control by any means necessary (sounds like abortion). She even condemned charity and philanthropy because they enabled the weak and the poor to survive and flourish.

Even worse, she adopted the policies of Eugenics, which is defined as “the study of hereditary improvement of the human race by controlled selective breeding.” While this may sound like a genuine scientific theory, this was the same ideology that motivated the Nazis to abuse and kill millions of disabled children and woman. And today, this policy is universally condemned as a mere political and social prejudice rather than scientific fact. The prejudice can be recognized in one of Margaret Sanger’s letter to a friend. Here is what she said:

"We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten that idea out if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

Is it a surprise that black women are more than 3 times as likely as white women to have an abortion, and Hispanic woman 2 ½ times as likely ?

And Planned Parenthood’s president, Alan Guttmacher, who succeeded Sanger state that Planned Parenthood is “merely walking down the path that Mrs. Sanger carved out for us”…and it’s a path Faye Wattleton, Planned Parenthood’s president during the ‘80’s, claims they are proud to walk.

Planned Parenthood
A quick glance at Planned Parenthood’s website will reveal not only their financial interest but also their ideological agenda to remove any restraints (i.e. God, marriage, etc.) from sexuality and encourage self-indulgence. In fact, they have an entire entire website dedicated to teens and youth full of cartoons, games and movies…all used to indoctrinate teens with a hedonistic ideology that usurps any and all authority.

Just look at the advice one “expert” gives to teens.

“The only person who can tell if you’re ready to have sex is YOU!”

Here’s another exchange between a student and expert.

Student: “I'm ready for sex. I've got these condoms but I don't want to use them, I need some birth control pills. I would like to know [of a] place where I could get some without my parents finding out, or any other adult. Thanks for your time.”

Expert: “In general, parental permission is not needed for birth control. However, there may be certain locations where, for one reason or another, the provider will require parental permission. Confidentiality is up to the provider. Planned Parenthood health centers are committed to providing services that are confidential and affordable, especially for teens, who may face special family and financial circumstances. To find a Planned Parenthood health center near you, call 1-800-230-PLAN.”

And on and on it goes. More advice from Planned Parenthood tells teens that having sex everyday is normal and can actually have “positive health benefits that you might not expect”. As far as any moral constraints, PP proclaims that we should “celebrate our sexuality” by recognizing that it “can be fun and fulfill many emotional needs”.

To top if off, PP suggests that homosexuality is normal and developed before birth and claims that “religious authorities often encourage negative feelings about sexual orientation and gender identity”.

So Planned Parenthood’s agenda is clearly laid out. While promoting a hedonistic lifestyle with no restraints, the natural effects are unwanted pregnancies that consequently end in abortion. And if abortions are increased, so is the financial bottom line of Planned Parenthood. Unfortunately, while their pockets are getting fat, millions of babies are aborted and millions of women are left to deal with the “choice” they made.

Planned Parenthood to Perform Late-Term Abortions in Houston

Planned Parenthood is making headlines in Houston with their expansion and renovation of the former Sterling Bank Building on the Gulf Freeway near the University of Houston.

A law passed in 2003 requires that abortions carried out between the 16th and 24th and one-half week of pregnancy be performed only at a licensed ambulatory surgery center and this expansion will qualify the clinic to perform late term abortions.

Planned Parenthood’s spokeswoman, Rochelle Tafolla, suggests that abortion protesters “thrive on hyperbole. It’s all about emotion and very little about fact. They make outrageous claims and show grotesque photos.”

Rather than posting more “hyperbole” on the issue of abortion and Planned Parenthood, I thought I’d simply lay out the facts in my next two posts.
